The Shuliy dry ice pelletizer machine converts liquid carbon dioxide into solid dry ice pellets through a controlled compression process, with a CO₂ conversion rate of at least 42%. Shuliy dry ice pelletizer machines are available with capacities of 50–600 kg/h and can produce dry ice pellets in 3 mm, 10 mm, 16 mm, and 19 mm diameters for different cleaning and blasting requirements. The machine can be configured with a 304 stainless steel or carbon steel housing, a Siemens control panel, fixed feet or swivel casters, and clear status indicator lights for convenient operation and monitoring.
The dry ice pelletizer machine is widely used for industrial cleaning, surface preparation, automotive restoration, mold remediation, electrical maintenance, and precision cleaning. Unlike water-based, chemical, or abrasive cleaning methods, dry ice blasting uses pellets that sublimate upon impact, leaving no secondary waste on the cleaned surface. This makes the dry ice pellet making machine suitable for cleaning electrical components, removing paint and grease, and maintaining sensitive industrial equipment.
With 20+ years of industrial machinery manufacturing and exports to 30+ countries, Shuliy provides reliable dry ice solutions. Our dry ice pelletizer machine systems help cleaning contractors, automotive shops, and industrial facilities achieve superior results with minimal environmental impact.
What Is a Dry Ice Pelletizer Machine?
A dry ice pelletizer machine is specialized equipment that transforms liquid CO2 into solid dry ice pellets through a three-phase process. Liquid CO2 enters a pressurized chamber. Pressure drops rapidly, causing partial solidification. A hydraulic ram compresses the material into dense pellets. Finally, the machine extrudes pellets through a die.
The resulting pellets measure 3mm-19mm in diameter depending on application requirements. High-density pellets provide maximum cleaning aggression and longer sublimation time. Low-density pellets suit delicate surfaces and detailed work.

Key Applications: Industrial Cleaning Focus
The dry ice pelletizer machine produces media for diverse non-food applications.
Dry Ice Blasting and Surface Preparation
The primary application is dry ice blasting for industrial cleaning. Pellets accelerate through a blast hose and impact the contaminated surface. The extreme cold (-78.5°C) embrittles coatings, grease, and debris. The pellet’s kinetic energy removes the material. Finally, the CO2 sublimates into gas, leaving no residue.
This method effectively removes:
- Paint and coatings from automotive parts and machinery
- Grease and oil from industrial equipment
- Mold release agents from injection molds
- Adhesives and sealants from assembly lines
- Rust and corrosion from metal surfaces
Unlike sandblasting or soda blasting, dry ice blasting equipment creates no secondary waste stream. Only the removed contaminant requires disposal.
Electrical and Precision Equipment Cleaning
Dry ice production machines supply pellets for cleaning sensitive electrical components. The non-conductive, moisture-free process safely cleans:
- Electric motors and generators
- Switchgear and control panels
- Transformers and circuit breakers
- Printing presses and rollers
- Semiconductor manufacturing equipment
No water exposure eliminates short-circuit risks. No abrasive media prevents surface damage to delicate components.
Mold Remediation and Fire Restoration
The dry ice pelletizer machine produces cleaning media for specialized restoration work. Dry ice blasting removes mold from building materials without spreading spores. It removes smoke damage and soot from fire-affected structures without water damage.
Restoration contractors prefer dry ice cleaning systems because they reduce labor time and eliminate chemical exposure.
Automotive and Aerospace Maintenance
Automotive facilities use dry ice blasting equipment for:
- Engine degreasing
- Undercarriage cleaning
- Paint removal before restoration
- Brake and rotor cleaning
Aerospace maintenance crews clean turbine blades, landing gear, and avionics without disassembly. The non-abrasive process preserves critical tolerances.
Key Advantages of Shuliy Dry Ice Pelletizer Machine
High-Density Pellet Production
Hydraulic compression creates pellets with density exceeding 1,500 kg/m³. Dense pellets provide longer blast time and greater cleaning aggression per kilogram.
Adjustable Pellet Size
Quick-change dies produce 3mm, 6mm, or 9mm diameter pellets. Select fine pellets for detailed work or coarse pellets for heavy contamination removal.
Rapid Production Startup
The dry ice pellet making machine reaches full production capacity within 5 minutes of startup. No lengthy warmup cycles reduce operational efficiency.
Minimal CO2 Waste
Closed-loop CO2 recovery captures excess gas and returns it to the chamber. This reduces liquid CO2 consumption by 10-15% compared with basic machines.
Automated Operation
PLC control maintains optimal chamber pressure and temperature. One operator monitors production while handling other tasks.
Compact Footprint
The dry ice production machine fits in standard industrial spaces. No special foundation or ventilation system is required.
Low Maintenance Requirements
Simple mechanical design with few wear parts. Hydraulic seals and extrusion dies are the only routine replacement items.
Efficient CO2 Utilization
The dry ice pelletizer machine is designed to make efficient use of liquid CO2 during pellet production. Stable pressure and temperature control help maintain consistent pellet output while reducing unnecessary CO2 loss.
Working Principle: How the Dry Ice Pelletizer Machine Works
The dry ice pelletizer machine operates through a continuous compression cycle.
Step 1: Liquid CO2 Introduction
Liquid carbon dioxide enters a high-pressure chamber at approximately 20 bar pressure. The chamber maintains controlled temperature to prevent premature solidification.
Step 2: Expansion and Initial Solidification
Pressure drops rapidly inside the expansion chamber. Approximately 40-50% of the liquid CO2 converts to solid “snow.” The remaining gas returns to the CO2 supply tank for reuse.
Step 3: Hydraulic Compression
A reciprocating hydraulic ram compresses the CO2 snow into a dense block. Compression pressure reaches 200-300 bar. This creates solid dry ice with density above 1,500 kg/m³.
Step 4: Extrusion and Cutting
The compressed material extrudes through a hardened steel die. Rotating blades cut pellets to adjustable lengths from 10mm to 100mm. Pellets fall into a collection hopper or transfer directly to a blasting machine.
Step 5: Quality Control
Sensors monitor pellet density and dimensions. The PLC automatically adjusts compression pressure and cutting speed to maintain consistent quality.
Dry Ice Pellet Storage and Handling
Proper storage extends the life of dry ice pellets produced by the machine.
Insulated Containers
Store pellets in vacuum-insulated containers with at least 100mm insulation thickness. Quality containers limit sublimation loss to 3-5% per day.
Ventilation
Store containers in well-ventilated areas. CO2 gas accumulation in enclosed spaces creates asphyxiation hazards.
Protective Equipment
Handle pellets with cryogenic gloves. Direct skin contact causes frostbite.
First-In-First-Out
Use oldest pellets first. Even in insulated containers, pellets gradually sublimate.
Проблемы клиентов и решения
Pain Point 1: Chemical Cleaning Environmental Compliance
Solvent-based cleaning creates hazardous waste disposal requirements. Regulatory compliance costs increase annually.
Solution: Dry ice blasting equipment uses no chemicals. Only the removed contaminant requires disposal. No hazardous waste manifests or environmental permits are needed.
Pain Point 2: Water Damage from Traditional Cleaning
Pressure washing and steam cleaning introduce moisture into electrical systems and precision machinery.
Solution: Dry ice cleaning systems are completely dry. No water exposure means no corrosion, no short circuits, and no drying time.
Pain Point 3: Surface Damage from Abrasive Media
Sandblasting and soda blasting etch or erode delicate surfaces. Masking and rework add labor time.
Solution: Dry ice pellets sublimate on impact. No abrasive media contacts the surface. No masking is required for most applications.
Pain Point 4: Production Downtime for Equipment Cleaning
Disassembling machinery for cleaning stops production for hours or days.
Solution: Dry ice blasting equipment cleans equipment in place. Most systems operate while equipment is running. Downtime is reduced by 70-80%.
